Design and technology of the CNC pipe lathe CKT1000X1500

CNC pipe lathe CKT1000X1500 with 320 mm spindle bore has been designed for durability, precision and ease of operation. Key components include:

Construction and bed

The massive machine body and wide bed ensure exceptional rigidity and effective vibration damping. The distance between centres of 1500 mm and a maximum workpiece swing of 1000 mm allow machining of large components such as pipes and shafts while maintaining high stability.

Spindle and drive system

The spindle with a 320 mm bore (option* 270 mm) and a speed range of 22–300 rpm, driven by an 11 kW motor, ensures high cutting performance. The standard 630 mm 4-jaw chuck (option* 400 mm 3-jaw chuck) guarantees secure clamping of workpieces.

Guideways and drives

Linear guideways and precision servo drives provide smooth motion on the X/Z axes (travels 1850/620 mm) with rapid traverse speeds of 4/8 m/min, minimising positioning errors and ensuring high working dynamics.

Control system

Standard Siemens Sinumerik 808D control (option* Siemens 828D or Fanuc Oi-TF) enables precise programming and optimisation of machining processes. The compact control panel with protection class IP65 ensures reliability in demanding workshop conditions, while the RS-232 interface facilitates integration with CAD/CAM systems.

Precision and working efficiency

Industrial CNC lathe CKT1000X1500 with 320 mm spindle bore offers high precision thanks to advanced CNC control and its robust construction. X/Z axis repeatability of 0.012/0.02 mm and 0.025 mm, combined with feed speeds of 4/8 m/min, allow optimisation of toolpaths, shortening cycle times and increasing productivity. The powerful 11 kW motor makes the machine suitable for machining large workpieces in both single-piece and batch production.

Applications of the CNC pipe lathe CKT1000X1500

CNC metal pipe lathe CKT1000X1500 with 320 mm spindle bore is used in demanding industries such as:
